Today's Army (which includes the Army National Guard) leadership recognizes that family readiness is inseparable from unit readiness. More soldiers have families than ever before. The Army emphasizes that soldiers who know that their family's needs are being met perform better in the stress of deployment. Families whose needs are met during deployment are in a better position to be supportive of their deployed family member and will be in a better position to welcome and support their returning solider.

"University of Missouri Extension has always been about the business of providing quality information to individuals and families when they need information most. It is our professional honor, as HES Extension Specialists, to draw from our knowledge and research base in such areas as family financial management, human development, single parenting, community resources, networking and more to deliver user-friendly, critical information to military personnel and their families," says Cynthia Crawford, Consumer and Family Economics Specialist.
